THE friends and acquaintance of
Mrs. CT. Cunningham will learn with
sorrow of her premature and melan-
choly, but not unexpected death,
which occurred at her home in this
city on Sunday evening last at about
7'Oclock. For the last few months,
she has borne up under the most ter
rible sufferings with heroic fortitude,
and her loving husband and friends
continuedto hope almost against hope
and have the consolation of knowing
that everything that scientific medi-
cal skill, and the ministering hands
of affectionate kindness, could do to
save her life and alleviate her suffer-
ings, was done, but the issues of life
and death are in the hands of the
Maker, and all was, alas, of no avail.
She lived the life, and died the death
of Christian, and her pure spirit
has taken its glad flight to "that rest
which remaineth for the people of
God, "where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest.
The saddest part of this most heart
rendering bereavement is that she
leaves a little babe too young to know
the loss it has sustained, and fond
and affectionate husband whose grief
will be hard to console. We tender
to him, and the friends and relatives
of the deceased assurances of our
warmest sympathy. The funeral ser
vices on Monday were attended by a
numerous concourse of friends. She
was laid to rest in the Greenwood
Cemetery.
Her eyes have closed-she's gone,
Dreamless her sleep shall be,
Until the resurrection morn,
Wnen Christ shall set her Free

but who, for several years past, has
been living on farm near Carrots
burg, KY, on Friday the Goth ult.,
was on his way home from the mill
at Ringgold, near the house Of Mr..
j. 7. Bats, and was driving a light
two horse wagon, in which he was
seated in company with Stewart
Lupton, when he was attacked with
sunstroke. This blinded him to such
an extent that he accidentally drove
the wagon over stump in the road.
The wagon was overturned and the
occupants thrown out on the ground.
Mr.. Lupton escaped with a few
slight bruises, but Mr.. Broaddus' hip
and arm were reported to have been
broken by the fall, and his injuries
were thought to be so serious as to
endanger his life by the family
physician who was sent for when he
was taken home. We are glad how
ever, to learn that he is better, hav-
ing recovered from the effects of the
sunstroke, and his injuries are not SC
serious as was at first apprehended
1t is thought that his hip was not
broken at all, as at first reported
DIR. J. W. Lupton went out to see
him, and, on his return, reported the
above intelligence, which will, nc
doubt, be gratifying to his friends
and acquaintance in GAINESVILLE.

HIGH MANURlNo.

Why the Sensible Farmer WIN Not A1l00 q
Depletioa q His Soil.
How many persons appreciate what
is meant by high manurin.? 1t means
simply. fully feeding the soil. The an
imal on short commons makes little
progress toward ripe fairness. 1t is the
same with the soil. The plant food must
be in excess of the full requirements
Of the crop to be raised. with this DIFF
ference, as in the case Of the feeding IF
animals. If something is left in the
soil not required by the crop. the excess
remains in the soil ready for another
crop. II the soil lacks some necessary
constituent. it may not Be able to prop
erly assimilate the other constituents
contained in the soil. In feeding AMI
mails. if the food does not contain all
the constituents necessary to the animal
economy, such rs may be assimilatcd is
taken up. the balance is lost.
There is this to say about manurirsg.
However little may be given. it helps.
and here the value is identical rs be-
tween plants and animals, but only by
high manuring soil containing an
excess of food all needed by the crop
can the best and most economical results
be reached. This is fully shown in gar
dening, rs practiced by professionals.
The gardener manures to the extreme.
He raises crops year by year Of the
heaviest kind. He perhaps does not
practice rotation. by which a succeed
ing crop may utilize that rejected by
former crop. At length the garden
soil becomes sick. II no longer pro-
duces ~ the gardener expects. Why?
The soil has been robbed year by year
of certain constituents to the exclusion
Of others. Here is where a lesson may
be learned. Rotation of crops allows
pabulum not used by one crop to be
taken by another. It is . question
worthy of careful study.
A virgin soil may contain all the con-
stituents Of plant food in abundance.
In time the richest soil will be depleted.
The sensible way is never to allow
soil tn become depleted. It costs too
much to recuperate it.-Farm, Field
and Stockm0S.
